Wrapper around either a Method or a Constructor. Convenience API is provided to make common reflective operation easier to deal with, such as Element.isPublic, getParameters etc.

In addition to convenience methods, TypeToken.method and TypeToken.constructor will resolve the type parameters of the method or constructor in the context of the owner type, which may be a subtype of the declaring class. For example:


Method getMethod = List.class.getMethod("get", int.class);
Invokable<List<String>, ?> invokable = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.method(getMethod);
assertEquals(TypeToken.of(String.class), invokable.getReturnType()); // Not Object.class!
assertEquals(new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}, invokable.getOwnerType());
Author:Ben Yu
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the type that owns this method or constructor.
  • <R> – the return type of (or supertype thereof) the method or the declaring type of the constructor.
Since:14.0

Invokes with receiver as 'this' and args passed to the underlying method and returns the return value; or calls the underlying constructor with args and returns the constructed instance.
Throws:
  • IllegalAccessException – if this Constructor object enforces Java language access control and the underlying method or constructor is inaccessible.
  • IllegalArgumentException – if the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion.
  • InvocationTargetException – if the underlying method or constructor throws an exception.

{@inheritDoc}

[<E>] will be returned for ArrayList's constructor. When both the class and the constructor have type parameters, the class parameters are prepended before those of the constructor's. This is an arbitrary rule since no existing language spec mandates one way or the other. From the declaration syntax, the class type parameter appears first, but the call syntax may show up in opposite order such as new <A>Foo<B>().
